The National Historical Publications and Records Commission will be
holding a conference call on February 28, 2008 to answer question about
its Digitizing Historical Records grants. In brief, these grants
support: <br>
"The Commission seeks proposals that use cost-effective methods to
digitize nationally-significant historical record collections and make
the digital versions freely available on the Internet. Project must make
use of existing holdings of historical repositories and be made up of
entire collections or series. The materials should already be available
to the public at the archives and described so that projects can re-use
existing information to create metadata for the digitized
collection."<br>
<br>
The full announcement is available here:

Applications are due on June 2, 2008. NHPRC staff will review
drafts if they are submitted by April 1, 2008. <br><br>
The conference call will begin on Thursday, February 28 at 2:00 PM
Eastern Time and last one hour. If you are interested in
participating, please send an email to Nathan Sowry at
Nathan.sowry@nara.gov. He will send you the information on how to
participate. We are limited to 25 participants in this call.
If there is sufficient interest, we will<br>
schedule another call. We hope this call will clarify issues and
help people prepare competitive proposals. We will send a summary
of questions and answers to this list afterwards.<br><br>
Please forward this email to other appropriate mailing lists (such as
regional archival organizations, library communities, etc). <br><br>
Sorry for duplication. <br><br>
